Notes

• It is a common misconception that this skill endows weapons with the Fire property during its 10-second buff. In actuality, this skill adds an additional 20% Fire property damage on top of all normal attacks for ten seconds. This means that if the user does a Neutral property attack, only the 20% Fire property damage will be affected by the opponent's Element.
• The Fire property damage bonus pierces defense. It is also calculated into every hit of this skill (this skill, when mastered, will inflict [250% + (20% × 250%)] = 300% physical damage, but 1/6th of that damage will be of Fire property that pierces defense).
• Since some skills are pseudo-elemental, the 20% of Fire element bonus is pseudo-elemental too.

Applications

• This skill is useful for pushing players out of Pneuma, as it position bugs them, unlike Bowling Bash or Brandish Spear, making it difficult for them to re-Pneuma. This is helpful for aiding party members with ranged attacks.
• The 10-second buff is not an effective tool for bypassing Ghostring carded Item #4047 Ghostring carded} armor, even if the user's weapon is not Neutral property. Endows, Enchant Poison, or Cursed Water Item #12020 Cursed Water} are far better methods.
• Because statuses from cards or weapons can be transferred through this skill, it can be a mean of inflicting many players at once with statuses. Although, Bowling Bash can also have more range when its "bowling" effect works.
• Many Priests or other classes also use this skill in either PvP or WoE to inflict statuses.
